Abstract
The purpose of this mixed method study involving 76 new and 44 returning Chicago Public Schools beginning teachers (N = 120) was to investigate the relationship between school organization culture (Bolman & Deal, 1984) and basic need satisfaction (Maslow, 1954/1987) as they predicted commitment to remain in the teaching profession. New teacher decision about becoming a teacher again was predicted by the linear relationship between culture and need satisfaction (R2 = .36, p < .01) and by need alone (R2 = .32, p < .01); self-actualization was the significant bivariate (r = .49, p < .05) and partial (r = .29, p < .05) correlation. Returning teacher decision about remaining in teaching was predicted by need satisfaction (R2 = .45, p < .05). New (51%) and returning (68%) teacher decision about remaining in teaching was based on compatibility and incompatibility between culture and need satisfaction.
